Abstract: A charging apparatus (20) for a combustion engine, having a compressor (1) which has a compressor housing (2) in which a compressor wheel (3) is arranged, the compressor wheel being mounted on one end (4) of a rotor shaft (5), and which has a compressor housing rear wall (6); and having an electric motor (7) which has a stator winding (12) which surrounds a magnet (11), which is arranged on the rotor shaft (5), on the outside. The stator winding (12) is an iron-free stator winding, and the electric motor (7) is a brushless DC motor.

Abstract: The invention relates to a vehicle heater, comprising at least one pipe, which has a plurality of chambers, ceramic heating elements, which are arranged in the chambers, and contact plates, which rest against the heating elements in the chambers via a front side and face an upper side or underside of the chamber via a rear side, wherein at least two chambers of the pipe are separated by an intermediate wall, which runs from the upper side to the underside of these two chambers. The contact plates have a slit, in which the intermediate wall is arranged.

Abstract: The invention relates to a heating rod, comprising a housing made of metal, a heating element disposed in the housing, and a contact plate, which is seated against the heating element with a front and which protrudes from the housing. It is provided according to this disclosure that the contact plate is an aluminum sheet having an anodized back and the contact plate comprises projections for positioning the heating element.
